cmux is a native macOS terminal built on Ghostty that adds vertical tabs, notification rings, and an in‑app browser. It provides a CLI and socket API for automating and scripting AI coding agents.

Use cases

  • manage multiple AI coding agents in separate terminal panes
  • receive real‑time notifications when an agent needs attention
  • script terminal layouts and workspaces via the cmux CLI or socket API
  • work on remote servers through SSH or Mosh workspaces with persistent panes
  • split a web browser alongside a terminal for quick reference while coding
  • organize projects with vertical tabs showing git branch, directory, and ports

When to choose

  • You need a lightweight, native macOS terminal with advanced multitasking features.
  • You work with AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini, etc.) and want visual notifications.
  • You want programmable control of terminal windows via a JSON socket or CLI.
  • You require SSH/Mosh workspaces that keep terminal state across disconnects.

When to avoid

  • You need a cross‑platform terminal that runs on Linux or Windows.
  • You prefer a terminal based on Electron or other heavy runtimes.
  • You require deep integration with tmux or other existing terminal multiplexers.
